It's been mentioned that the 718 GT4 Clubsport would debut today at something called Roar. No idea what or where that is. Any word yet? Would love to know what we can determine about the road cars from the Clubsport debut.

Yup... 3.8 with 425hp... Whoopsy was once again right!
GT4 is the Clubsport (race) version of the GT4. It will reveal a ton for the street cars which will debut later this year... question is when.

Roar before the 24 Hours at Daytona. I had no idea Porsche did new model intro’s at this event but it does make sense since they do ultimately end up on the track at this event.

That rear diffuser is awkward.

I will be very curious to see how many of the following get carried over to the street GT4 and Spyder:
- Hemp based body panels (similar to carbon fiber)
- PDK
- PDK Gearbox water cooling!

I would say none of the stuff you listed gets carried over

I would say the design of front bumper/lip, side skirts, side vents, rear bumper, spoiler(wing: Coupe only), and diffuser will carry over as plastic for the Street version of the GT4 Coupe and GT4 Spyder. Manual only too.

Thanks for posting the sick high-res pics. Hopefully the street version has the same 425hp. Drooling!
